In an- other coiumn we give some parts of it. This is the kind of helpful and instructive information that >al young folk shoui.d read about their country. When men or women in high positions speak or write they shouid be heard or read. His Honor said "Canada can become the bright spot of the world". The condition of Canada's ambition lifting her' 50 high was that Canadians should get to work and use their brains and the great naturai resources' of their country.-1He was confident that the period of stress was past and that the future was brîght. Speaking of the Exhibition he said: "We have somnething that we should be more than proud of. We are standing on the threshold of a great manhood, while the country sees greater thinigs. We can build it up and make Canada a country which will in a f ew years be the bright spot of this great world Why should we stand, he said, as though in a dream? as sthough things are bad and we are depressed?" They are past. They are only in our minds. We have our brains, our hands, our province, one piant-let's use them." Rev. J. J. Rae, Richmond, Ind., gave us a cali on Wednesday enroute for Peterboro where he will enjoy a holiday at the northern lakes. Bow"vMacln1Vi1le HIGH SCHOOL wiIl re-open on Tuesday, September 5th.

The study of -Canadien history for some reason -has never been popular in our public Eschools with teachers or scholars.

It is very gretifying and satisfying, too, to see the students doing good work from i year to year and thus continuing thei good reputation obtained by this school many years ego. The Board has neyer been penurious in matteri of salaries and equipment and teach-' ers and students have co-operated to uphold the good reputation of the school. One change only has been made in the teaching staff since lest termi which wiil be seen by the an- nouncement elsewhere in this issue. Dear readers, have you ever thought what kind of a place Canada wouid be without the combined in-1 fluence of the publie and high sehoolsl and colleges, the churches and Sun-ý day Sehools and the good newspep-i ers ? These are the greatest educa- tional institutions this country hes, and.the man who feuls to give liber- ally to their pronmotion, upkeep and protection is iil-treating and. helping to destroy his very best friends. On- .ly a week ago we heard a man, of 1superior intelligence railing against the cost of maintenance of Bowman-I ville schools and churches. But hisi 1was a selfish view-point for lie faile d 7 to recognize their great value to the town and only condemned their cost. Oh that people would have a broader view of if e, more generous natures and greater desire to prove a help rather than a hinderance to the world's progress, the welfare of their fellow-men and of the boys and girls -Canada's greatest asset. Consider for a few minutes how very much this country owes to its schools, churches> and newspapers, its three chief educators. Educa- tion is a builder of citizens and lead- ers. "archandise must have mer-m cha.nt&; fazms iet have farmers; bcrham1z =t hve bankers; schools must hpve teachtrs and pulpits must have preachers. Education must furnish ail of them. Then civie en- terprise must have champions. Things do not get done of themselves. Causes flo not fiourish without pro- moters, and defenders. Great movements do not move without movers. Towns and cities do not grow out of the ground. They grow out of the valient souls of men and women who 'are wise and willing to blaze the way or pay the cost. Some- body must see and summon the sleeping power._ Somebody mnust organize the forceës of politicai and civil life. Who will do it but the seholars? Who has a better right to do than the man whol knows? Canada must train the &ltizen and the leaders. We have put our des- tiny in their hands. If they fail, or we make them feul by negligence, the cýhurch fails, banks fail, government feuls, business feuls, civilization fails. When we build a school we bulid a citadel of strength and glory. We build a recruiting station for cham- pions of order, love and justice and all theý other persons who carry on the affairs of this great 'country. Our churches are the bulwark of the schools of this community and coun- try and reguhar attendance at Sun- day School and church services is a part of Christian education, and you owe it to these to, liberaly support sociation got away to a fine start last i wook. The' first contests were the! mixed doubles and very keen compe-' tition was shown by the players. Large galleries of spectators follow- ed the matches both on Wednesday and Saturiday afternoons. By fer the most interesting con- test of the Tournamont so fer wes the set of mixod doubles played by Maude Gartshore and Joe Terrett against Neil Burk and John Alex- ander. It was nocessary to play 40 games to decide the two sets. The t.ennis played wes high class and would have continued indefinately had not Mr. Terrett weakened in the second setMis$ Burk and John Alex- ander winning by 12-10 and 10-8.

Claude Ive. WENT OVER THE TOP Undoubtedly the greatest boot and shoe sale ever held in Bowmanviile was WV. Claude Ives' Dollar Day Sale held three days of last week. Mr. Ives originally offered 350 pairs of shoes at $1.00 a pair but before the sale was hall over they, were ail gone. Rather than dis- appoint late customers by telling h-ey were ail seld hie took other shoes lrom bis regular stock and sold them at 4,-.00 a pair. By Saturday night hie had sold a few short of 500 pairs at $1.00, besides cloing considerable business in other goods at regular prices. It was certainly a happy tbrong of dustomers who patronized this sale and they were unanimeus in the opinion tbat it was the greatest vaiue-giving sale in footwear ever offered in town or cîse- where. ITew in the world did Mr. Ives inform the people in town and country about this sale? lie didn't send tl-em i -iters. He didn't use the. phone. He Iidn't even have hand buis printed andI dis-, tributed.
